Khmer Speaking Lawyer For Car Accident Injury Lawsuit

As a result, they fail to consider the challenges the language barrier can add to daily life and the life-altering impact it can have when involved in a car accident.

Understanding How Negligence Applies To Your Accident, Injuries, and Medical Expenses
Most car accidents happen very quickly. One minute you are driving along or stopped at a red light, and the next, you struggle to understand what just happened and why you are in such immense pain. You might never have seen the vehicle that hit your car or caused the accident. All you have is what you can surmise from seeing the results and your crashed car.

What is vital to understand is that someone made a poor choice or failed to make a choice that would have kept everyone safe and eliminated the accident and your injuries. And whoever that person is, is responsible for the accident, your injuries, and losses. Their failure to drive safely or negligence in their driving resulted in many losses and suffering, and they are financially responsible for those losses.

But from your point of view, inside your car, you have no idea what they did or did not do that caused the car crash and your injuries. That is where the skill and experience of your Khmer-speaking or French-speaking lawyer at Normandie Law Firm steps in to assist you. Using information from you, the police reports, and statements from witnesses of the accident, your lawyer will advise who is likely responsible for your injuries. In addition, they will explain your legal right to seek compensation for your injuries and losses due to the car accident.

Common Acts Of Negligence By Drivers
Rarely would you expect that another driver decided to cause an accident and rammed their car into yours. So you could be wondering what drivers are doing that is considered negligent behavior behind the wheel. The list is sadly very long and surprising to many drivers who strive to operate their cars safely to protect themselves and others on the road. Everyday acts of negligence when driving can include:

• Driving while intoxicated or under the influence of a controlled substance
• Driving while on prescribed medication that inhibits the ability to focus or react quickly
• Ignoring traffic signals or signs
• Driving in excess of the posted speed limit
• Going too fast for the current road conditions or weather
• Driving in an aggressive or reckless manner

All drivers have a responsibility to others to follow the laws of the road and act prudently when operating a vehicle. When drivers do not follow these guidelines, they choose to act negligently and will need to assume responsibility for any accidents they cause.

How Long Do I Have To File A Lawsuit?
In California, an injured party has two years from the date of the incident to file a claim against the negligent person. This time frame is called the Statute of Limitations. And it applies to most injury accidents in the state. However, there are a few exceptions to this rule that your Normandie legal team will explain if they apply to your case. However, if you fail to file within two years, you will have lost your legal right to seek any compensation for the injuries or damages due to the car accident.

How Long Does A Lawsuit Take To Complete?
There is no way for your Normandie Law Firm experts to quote you the time needed to complete your case. There are many factors that will impact the length of the lawsuit, including your recovery time, the time required for the negligent person to recover if injured in the accident, and even the workload of the court system. But please know that your legal team will work diligently to move the case forward as rapidly as possible.

Our staff understands that you could be depending on the compensation from the lawsuit to pay medical expenses, household bills, and even purchase food and necessities for your family. And as such, it is essential to secure a settlement as quickly as possible. We will do our best to make the process as smooth and fast as possible.

Can You Tell Me The Value Of My Car Accident Lawsuit?
The best your Normandie Law Firm lawyer can do is provide you with a general estimate of the value of your case after learning more about your expenses. The value of an injury accident lawsuit is based on the victim’s expenses and losses. Your Khmer or French-speaking lawyer will ask you to provide information to help evaluate the financial losses you have incurred. Some of the components of this final amount include:

• The cost of all your current medical bills and the estimated amount of any future care required for your injuries
• The cost of any therapy for issues related to anxiety, depression, trauma, nightmares, or fear as a result of the car accident
• The amount of your lost wages if you are unable to work due to your injuries
• Any lost wages for the time that you have missed work for medical appointments or therapy
• The cost of your legal services
• The value of any personal items that were damaged or destroyed in the car accident

All of these amounts are relatively easy to estimate with receipts and bills from your healthcare providers. However, there is also the potential to include a sum of money to account for the pain and suffering you have endured since the accident. Again, your lawyer will help you understand how this can be applied and the possible amount based on previous experience litigating similar cases.
